Lens

All the three cameras come with built-in Sony image sensor lens with different types as shown on the table. Both GW Security and Lorex use varifocal lens with optical motorized zoom, but Amcrest doesn’t use varifocal lens. However, Amcrest adds digital zoom feature instead of optical zoom which image quality detail is not as good as optical zoom.

Resolution
